The genocidal clown

There's this theory that I read in John D. Macdonald and thenin Phillip K. Dick that since humans have nonatural predators to speak of, there is really noway tokeepthe humanpopulation from expanding far beyond the capacity of the earth to hold all the human beings particularly as technology tames nature and medicine eliminates diseases. The predictions of Malthus would have to be right, ultimately there would be somany humans on the planet, they'd have nowhere tostand,insufficient food and they would die. The theory of which I speak is that nature periodically gags up from the gutter a Hitler or some other pathologicalphenomenn, what we call a mojnster, but what this negation actually does is live for war, murder and slaughter and this is how the excessive humanpopulation is kept from exploding, this is how nature keeps humanpopulation expansion in check. It produces psychopaths periodically who Friedman like take advantage of crisis situations to get power, ignite inpopulations from positions of leadership Hysteria and the result is wars, genocides, mass murders, horrors of all sorts, and this is how the humanpopulation on earth is kept from exceeding what the earthcan support. Crime on a mass scale, absence of conscience, mass hysteriathat killoff for instance in World WarII as many as 39,000,000 people, thus bringing down thepopulation of humans for several generations and preventing population explosions from causing Malthusian conditions. Monsters, John D. says in his Green Ripper novel come along to spread their madness because humans have no other way tolimit their population growth. Now imagine thepresent economic crisis which has spread around the world. In every country millions without jobs. Countries in huge debts unable to jumpstart their economies, unable to get loans to create infrastructure, unable to invest, businesses disappearing, jobs disappearing. The consequences? Social chaosis allover the world, starvation, we can't at present even guess how it all will end, we just know we have reached a point where evenour subsistence needs are exceeding our resources, and the end result can only be catastrophes of different forms. Will this count as one of those times when human population will be limited from expanding to Malthusianproportions. One can guess it'll get that bad. And what was the cause of this. What was the negating force that will destroy human civilization, security and probablydestoy large blocs of human population. Was it a monster?A Hitler. No it wasn't. The comic element of all this is the realfault of this disaster can al;most exclusivelly be laid at the feet of a single dolt who stubbornly insisted he could run the most powerfulcountry in the world, and when he got that position, he initiated policies that Inspector Clouseau of the Sourette probably would not have put into practice. Clouseau might have done some pratfalls, but its doubtful he would have done things like cut taxes to the very rich while fighting two wars thereby running upa huge defecit. Its doubtful he would have destroyed the american middle class by encouraging corporations to shipjobs overseas thereby leaving us with an economywithout consumers. Its unlikely he would have so dereuglated the stock market to the point where he called a Ponzi scheme like Enrn while it was ripping off California one of Amrica's free enterprise success stories, even as it caved in andd took billions of people's pensions away. Its unlikely he would have let allof wall stree follow the Enronlead after Enron, doing similar questionABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES AND CALLED HIS ECONOMY A COMPLETE success WHENIT WAS JUST ABOUT TO CAPSIZE INTO A GREAT DEPRESSION AS HIS ADMINISTARTION ENDED,ONE SOBAD NEARLY EVERY MAJOR BANK ON wALL STEET FAILED AND HAD TOBE BAILED Out. Its unlikely he'd have let housing scams go so farthat banks cmpletely froze up, went bankrupt, still can't loan any money and this would cause worldwide collapse of industries that reled on investments in supposed solid legitamite companies.Its unlikely he would not have had a clue any of this was happening at allwhen he's supposed tobe the Ceopresident. Wait Clouseau might have done that last one, him and Bush do have an incredible self deceiving narcissism in common.Whowould have thought, whowould have thoughtthast the force of negation we had to fear next, hitting us like a monsoon would not come fromnuclear missles or any predictable madness, but simply be the product of a dunce whosomehow wriggled his way to a positionin a million years he should never have held. It's black comedy for sure, and not even Terry Southren or Celine could have cme upwith cosmic human absurdity on this level.A clown, a fucking buffoon with a 91 IQ who can't be convinced he's wrong ever. Unprecedented.
